Tom,
Thanks for the reply. I know my 944's would kick on the radiator
fans any time the sensor detected a certain temperature.
My A4's fan runs on "high speed" (hair dryer sound) almost all the
time because I have the A/C on. I bet this keeps water temp lower than
it would be if I was on a death wish with "Econ."
I will investigate the wiring diagrams and see what temp sensor it
uses to kick on.
Thanks,
Scott S.
